Authentic The term “authentic” means that the PST addresses a “real” problem – the outcome of the problem solving work is communicated to a “real audience.” Except in rare circumstances the audience is not the teacher and/or classmates. The PST “simulates authenticity” when the audience is imaginary and/or when the solution is not really communicated to the audience.
